Special notes:
This is a special member joint event between The Hummer Club, Inc. and Midwest Hummer Club. MHC is sponsored by Hummer of Sioux Falls (SD) and contains many active members. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and broaden both groups experiences.
1. All trucks need to be fueled and prepared to leave for the trails at the appropriate times as shown on the schedule.
2. There will be NO direct dealer support on-site, so if you are going to need parts or tools, best to have them on hand.
3. It is important to have straps with clevises and no chains or hooks are allowed, if you have a fire extinguisher it is important to keep it with you. If you have a winch make sure it works.
4. Be sure to have your cooler packed for lunch on the trail and snacks during the day.
5. A CB with an external antenna is required. If that is an issue place contact your trail leader during the driver?s meeting. Having this allows constant communication between trail leader, tail gunner and all participants.
6. Dinner will be at your leisure throughout the event. We can make group dinner plans during the event as restaurant space allows.
7. The Black Hills are rich in history and is the home of the Mount Rushmore National Monument. Custer State Park just south of the Black Hills supports the second largest buffalo herd in the US.
